2022 ADA Lovelace Lecture Series: Human-centered AI approaches for individualized self-management regimens
Personal health informatics solutions have been proposed to support self-management, to scaffold problem solving for individuals, and to promote experimentation that help identify potential triggers of disease flares across a range of health conditions. In many chronic diseases however, there is strong evidence of person-to-person variation in treatment responses and associated symptoms. In addition, there are often no predetermined policy guidelines for self-management, and if there are, individuals are left with the burden of translating them into their day-to-day lives. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges and ex...

Judith H. Greenberg Early Career Investigator Lecture: Artificial Intelligence Approaches for Antibiotic Discovery
Innovations in artificial intelligence may help to replenish our arsenal of effective drugs, such as those to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Since their discovery in the early 1900s, antibiotic medicines have saved countless lives, but their extensive use has resulted in some bacteria developing resistance to them — meaning our current antibiotics no longer work to treat some infections. To effectively probe antibiotic design and discovery using computational approaches, researchers must first program computers to sort through the many characteristics of molecules and determine which properties optimize...

The brain might process smell like a camera, capturing a snapshot of the essence of smell.
The brain might process smell like a camera, capturing a snapshot of the essence of smell, or a symphony, with diverse brain cells working together to capture the scent. Using computer simulations, researchers developed a model to replicate the workings of the brain's early olfactory system, the ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

NLM ADA Lovelace Lecture: Tackling Diabetic Retinopathy in a Safety Net Healthcare Setting with Telehealth and Machine Learning
NLM ADA Lovelace Lecture Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults in the United States. It is challenging to address in both rural and urban underserved settings, which suffer from shortages of eye specialists. This talk will describe the approach taken to address this condition in a medically underserved area (South Los Angeles) by researchers in the Center for Biomedical Informatics at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, using telehealth and machine learning on data from patient electronic health records. Omolola Ogunyemi, PhD, FACMI is the Director of Charles R. Drew U...
